Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry for your loss. I remember Gene and Lynn from the train store on Charlotte. He was a good man, and he did love his trains.

Mr. Reid was my tennis coach at East. In 1968, we were a talented team and through his example, he made us better. He was a patient coach and, more importantly, a first class man. He wa.s one of the shining lights that lit the path through my adolescence. We are all the richer for having known him

Gene was a wonderful man.He was a great friend and will be missed but he is with his wife now.Thinking of you at this time and sending prayers and love your way. Karen

Thank you, God, for the life of Gene Reid. He, along with my sister, created a memorable, welcoming home for all who entered. Gene was jovial, stedfast and committed to his family....so genuine. He was our family treasure and will be greatly missed.

At East Mecklenburg, Mr Reid was my algebra teacher. About 25 years after graduating, saw Mr Reid at a toy train show. Gotta tell ya, Mr Reid loved toy trains, & I don´t think there ever was a toy train show he didn´t like. RIP!

Mr. Reid was my favorite teacher. I had him for math at East Mecklenburg. What an amazing man. I know he was a blessing to everyone fortunate to know him. Prayers and God´s blessings on your family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Eugene was one of my husband (Ted),s best friends. He was loved.
